[11, 12] Of the Monteggia fractures, Bado type I has been reported to be the most common (59%), followed by type III (26%), type II (5%), and type IV (1%). The ulna and interosseous membrane also may provide stable platforms for dislocation of the proximal radius, leading to the Monteggia fracture. Tan JW, Mu MZ, Liao GJ, Li JM. 35 (3):e434-7. Unstable fracture-dislocations of the forearm (Monteggia and Galeazzi lesions). Stable anatomic reduction of the ulnar fracture results in anatomic reduction of the radial head.

Unrecognized dislocations may result from reduction of the dislocated radius prior to presentation. Ruchelsman DE, Pasqualetto M, Price AE, Grossman JA. encoded search term (Monteggia Fracture) and Monteggia Fracture. Monteggia fracture - fracture of the proximal 1/3 of the ulnar shaft accompanied by the dislocation of the radial head. Anterior elbow dislocations occur most often as a fracture-dislocation in which the distal humerus is driven through the olecranon, thereby causing a complex, comminuted fracture of the proximal ulna. Richard L Ursone, MD Orthopedic Surgeon, Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Brooke Army Medical Center - fracture of ulnar metaphysis; Hand Clin. Introduction Giovanni Battista Monteggia, a surgical pathologist and public health official in Milan, first described the Monteggia fracture in 1814. An Alternative to the Traditional Radiocapitellar Line for Pediatric Forearm Radiograph Assessment in Monteggia Fracture. Once the radial head is reduced in closed injuries, surgical treatment may be delayed until the patient is stable and the surgery may be performed in a more elective fashion.

Data Trace specializes in Legal and Medical Publishing, Risk Management Programs, Continuing Education and Association Management. When the ulna is fractured, energy is transmitted along the interosseous membrane, displacing the proximal radius. Monteggia GB. Once the cast is hardened, mark it, then split using an oscillating saw, a hand saw, or a sharp plaster knife (1).

The olecranon, midshaft, and distal shaft may be involved. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Other important complications included proximal radioulnar synostosis in three patients, ulnar malunion in three, posterolateral rotatory instability of the ulnohumeral joint in one, and instability of the distal radioulnar joint in one. The Orthobullets Podcast In this episode, we review the high-yield topic of Monteggia Fractures from the Trauma section. In his classic 1943 text, Watson-Jones stated that "no fracture presents so many problems; no injury is beset with greater difficulty; no treatment is characterized by more general failure." 1951;33:65-73.

Monteggia Fractures in Pediatric and Adult Populations, Clifford R. Wheeless, III, M.D. Diagnosis is made with forearm and elbow radiographs to check for congruency of the radiocapitellar joint in the setting of an ulna fracture. Cast treatment with the elbow extended. Application of this eponym to all injuries with radiocapitellar subluxation or dislocation has led to some confusion. [QxMD MEDLINE Link].

Nine patients, all of whom had a Bado type-II fracture, needed a reoperation within three months after the initial operation; five had revision of a loose ulnar fixation device, three had resection of the radial head, and one had removal of a wire that had migrated from the radial head into the elbow articulation. Instituzioni Chirrugiche. It is imperative to look for associated injuries of the radial head and coronoid, which alter the management and lead to altered outcomes. The ulna was fixed with a tension band-wire construct supplemented with screws in three patients (all of whom had a Bado type-II fracture). Are you sure you want to trigger topic in your Anconeus AI algorithm? As multiple variants of Monteggia fractures exist, it is most accurately described as a forearm fracture with dislocation of the proximal radioulnar joint.4 Subtle bowing of the ulna shaft with an asssociated radiocapitellar dislocation may be missed by the inexperienced clinician who is looking for a forearm fracture and therefore Surgical Management of Missed Pediatric Monteggia Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
